The Days pass quickly while the nights seem to drag on

The Days pass quickly while the nights seem to drag on and on and on. It seems that because the days are filled with work like digging ditches and hanging conduit. The nights are filled with math that is sometimes frustrating. We have entered the last three weeks of classes to be exact only 7 more classes. I can't wait for this to be over its really crazy when you take a step back and really look at the things that we are able to accomplish when we just suck it up and do it.

I have been thinking of what things will be like when I come home, trying to decide if I am going to retire from the Air Force or if I will be extending my enlistment for another few years. If I do go on to achieve my BA degree I can have the military pay for it while I am still in. But if I retire it will cost me a little more to go through the VA I wish I would have known about this program earlier cause I would have like to already be done with it. I guess thats just wishful thinking.

Anyway there's only a few more ###### to go until I get home. then it will be another month or so before I go back to work for real. I can't wait for life to be normal again if you call not walking forever to get to the bathroom. I just want to wake up in the middle of the night and stumble out of bed and walk to the bathroom without having to get fully dressed just to go to the bathroom.

It will be nice not to have to wake up and run through exercises on how to react to the fireworks. the freedom of just walking without the weight of the backpacks or gear on your body. To walk down the street and not have dust flying around. I just miss wearing shorts and sandals. My feet are tired of wearing boots and walking 10miles a day back and forth to work and chow. The only thing that is good is that I am really feeling fit.

Well that's enough complaining for now. I have to study for a math quiz I will talk to you all later.
